I've been looking @ getting my air conditioning regassed, the car is s1 r33 gtst

the air cond. currently works, just takes a little longer than it should to get cold.

I've heard that it may just need a top up? or regas which apparently should be done

every two years?? They also recommend changing the filter too.

I don't know whats involved, but if it already works, i was told to allow $250 for regas

This sounds over the top?? :no:

Has anyone has a basic regas and would be able to advise on price

and maybe recommend a place in Adelaide to get this done.... Cheers :)

I got my air re gassed not long ago, they had to change the fittings which was baisically screwing an adaptor on the original fitting which they charged an extra $60 for (saw me coming) and the total bill was 150, this was in tas tho.

i had mine done 2 weeks ago (trying to avoid the summer rush) :) cost me $150, however i opted for a coloured dye (cost that little extra) which is handy for future to find a leak.

on my drive home barefoot, my clutch foot went numb! like seriously cold - put a digital thermometer in the footwell and it was 9ºC!!!!

so if my aircon is fairly cool, but not freeezing cold, will a re-gas correct this?

and what's the deal with the filter? i'm not familiar it.

Yeah id try topping it up first, thats what i plan to do with my aircon.

And the filter, i know in quite a few airbox's they put an airfilter inside to trap dust and leaves and all that crap, could be something like that. Or it could be a filter somewhere in the lines or condenser or evaporator.... not sure where though, and what it would do since the ac is really a sealed system.

what did u get done? just a re-gas (with dye)? or filter etc aswell?

no - just a regas.

however i do have to go see him within the next few weeks so he can check if its leaking - said that if its leaking he'll change over the entire canister with fittings for free, if not just leave it.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
